How much current does this fan motor draw
1
The Panasonic WhisperChoice DC 0.4-Sone 150-CFM White Bathroom Ventilator Fan (which appears to be a variant of the FV-1115VQ1 or FV-1115VK2 models, judging by the specs) has a very low current draw due to its energy-efficient DC motor. Here's the current draw at various CFM settings, which includes the 150 CFM option: At 110 CFM, the fan draws 0.08 amps. At 130 CFM, it draws 0.10 amps. At 150 CFM, it draws 0.14 amps. The maximum current draw for the fan is 0.31 Amps. This low current draw allows the fan to be installed on a standard 120V household circuit without concerns about overloading. The fan's use of a DC motor (ECM motor) contributes to its energy efficiency and low current consumption.
